Pros

Company offers decent pay, good benefits, and brand recognition. You will definitely learn a lot in a fast-paced environment and will meet very bright individuals. People end up staying at the company for awhile because it is comfortable in terms of stability, pay raises, and structure for advancement.

Cons

The culture and management are definitely the downfalls of Samsung. The culture will literally change you. It stifles creativity and fosters an environment where you merely do as your told. Each department is extremely siloed and even within departments team members will be very secretive of their work. Within the office, there is such little communication that you can even hear a pen drop. It is a very rigid and competitive culture. Let's just say it is not for the faint of heart. Those that put in longer hours at the office are considered more valuable to the company: all about face-time and not about efficiency. Although there are very bright individuals, a lot of them lack social norms, are unfriendly, and are not the types of people you would want to spend your work week with. Overall, you will learn at the company but it will come at the price of your overall happiness.

Pros

Met very smart, talented colleagues - enjoyed working with some of the people on the team, and learned many applicable, valuable technical skills. Some projects provide opportunities to learn new skills and can launch interesting products. The food is good.

Cons

All the previous reviews about the culture are 100% accurate. Overall very poor management and direction from the upper level, which trickles down into the team. Office politics and conflicting direction from HQ, too many meetings just to prove the work is being done, resulting in little to no trust in the US team - constant surveillance, questioning, and general misalignment of objectives. Company culture and team morale is overall quite low, and little recognition and appreciation from management for hardworking teams on the working levels. Also, it doesn’t seem like there is much room to grow, just more work added with little promotional opportunities. ALSO: RTO 5 days in office was unreasonable, had no justification, with no productivity data to show reasoning - seemed to be a rash decision from the HQ side as a form of control and to push people into soft layoffs (Their "Q&A" sessions are just beating around the bush about this specific reasoning).
